PM Hun Sen considered the Vietnamese leader’s official visit as
having historical significance amid the 50th anniversary of diplomatic
ties, voicing his belief that the trip will provide a strong momentum
for their traditional friendship and comprehensive cooperation to
thrive.

He spoke highly of Vietnamese investors’ contributions to
his country, noting that the military-run telecom group Viettel, the
Vietnam Rubber Group, the Electricity of Vietnam Group (EVN) and other
businesses of Vietnam have run profitably and fully paid taxes to the
Cambodian Government.

Notably, Metfone-Viettel has paid 400
million USD in taxes over the last decade. They have also contributed to
socio-economic development and the care for local people’s material and
spiritual life, especially low-income earners and rural residents, he
added.

The two PMs agreed to continue promoting trade, services
and cooperation between Vietnamese and Cambodian localities,
particularly the ones located along the shared borderline. They said
locality-to-locality ties have proved fruitful in the spirit of
friendship neighbourliness and comprehensive cooperation.

They
will order the joint committee for border demarcation and land border
marker planting to step up negotiations, seek solutions regarding border
sections not demarcated, and work closely in border management, thereby
enhancing peace, stability, cooperation and sustainable development
along the shared border.

At the talks, the Government leaders
valued the outcomes of mutual visits by the countries’ senior leaders
and agreed to increase delegation exchanges at all levels.

They
vowed to facilitate and seek effective measures to boost partnership in
potential areas such as trade-investment, banking, electricity, mining,
oil and gas, industrial tree planting, transport, telecommunications,
and education-training.

Vietnam and Cambodia will keep close
cooperation in security and defence, they said, reiterating the
principle of not allowing any hostile forces to use the territory of
this country to sabotage the other’s security and the two countries’
friendship and cooperation.

Both sides are set to enhance
collaboration to fight terrorism, transnational crimes, smuggling, drug
crime and human trafficking. They will also press ahead with the search
for and repatriation of the remains of Vietnam’s volunteer soldiers who
sacrificed their lives in wars in Cambodia, the PMs added.

At the
meeting, they discussed stepping up connections within the framework of
ASEAN and the Greater Mekong Subregion. They also exchanged views on
international issues of shared concern.

On this occasion, PM Phuc
appreciated Cambodia’s provision of good conditions for Vietnamese
expatriates, asking the country to take appropriate measures to soon
recognise their legal status and Cambodian nationality. He also called
on Cambodia to recognise schools managed by Vietnamese-Cambodians there
as part of the country’s education system.

In response, PM Hun Sen
promised to direct relevant agencies of Cambodia to provide fabourable
conditions for Vietnamese-Cambodians to be treated as equally as
expatriates of other countries.

Following the meeting, the two PMs witnessed the signing of cooperation documents.

Vietnam’s
Transport Ministry and Cambodia’s Ministry of Public Works and
Transport signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on cooperation on
promoting the study of the construction of Ho Chi Minh City-Moc Bai and
Phnom Penh-Ba Vet expressways. Another MoU on building a voluntary
rehabilitation centre for drug addicts in Preah Sihanouk province was
inked between Vietnam’s Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs
and Cambodia’s Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans and Youth
Rehabilitation.

The Directorate of Fisheries under the Vietnamese
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Fisheries General
Department under the Cambodian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and
Fisheries signed an official letter discussing the extension of the MoU
on fishery cooperation for another three years.

Meanwhile, the
administrations of Hanoi and Phnom Penh signed a MoU on the assistance
to the construction of a Phnom Penh-Hanoi friendship avenue.

After
the talks, PM Phuc and his spouse laid wreaths at the Independence
Monument, the memorial to late King Norodom Sihanouk, and the
Vietnam-Cambodia Friendship Monument in Phnom Penh.

Vietnamese students consistently ranked in the top 10 of International Math Olympiad while Cambodian students went a few times, and ranked near the bottom (96 out of 98, lol...). So, Cambodia stopped sending any team due to shame.
